Musician and podcaster Dan Boeckner joins us to bid farewell to 2021 by revisiting the near-future of New Year's Eve 1999 in Kathryn Bigelow's dystopian cyberpunk noir 'Strange Days'. We discuss the underseen film's boundary-pushing visual language, its prophetic vision of an emboldened police state carrying out extrajudicial violence, and Bigelow's disappointing (but unsurprising) 21st century shift to one of Hollywood's premier military propagandists.
